Context of 1 Kings 15:30
28The assassination happened in Asa’s third year as king of Judah. Baasha succeeded Nadab as king of Israel. 29As soon as he was king, he killed everyone else in Jeroboam’s family. He did not spare a soul, as the Lord had spoken through his servant Ahijah from Shiloh. This was because of Jeroboam’s sins and the sins which he led Israel to commit. Those sins made the Lord God of Israel furious. 31Isn’t everything else about Nadab—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Israel? 32There was war between Asa and Baasha as long as they lived.

Observe the ruin of the family of Jeroboam; no word of God shall fall to the ground. Divine threatenings are not designed merely to terrify.

But in the midst of dreadful sins and this apparent confusion, the Lord carries on his own plan: when it is fully completed, the glorious…Read the comment
